Digital Camera question

[Tony Bush]

Hope there are some Digital camera buffs out there......

Can I buy a Smartmedia card in the US for my camera?
Are all smartmedia cards able to go in my camera (Olympus) regardless of the make of card ?

I ask because a 32mb smart media card is around £40 -50 but is advertised on Wal-mart's web site as $28 !!!!!!

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony

If you want to buy Smartmedia before you go, 7 day shop have excellent prices and their service is very good. I have ordered Smartmedia and rechargeable batteries from them with no problem.

At the moment on their website 32 mb is £9.45.

in Januray. Fast service, (& helpful with sorting out sending the camera back to Fuji under warranty last month)
£13 for 32 at the moment.

HTH!

What kind of camera do you have? I have an Olympus C-3040. I don't think that your memory cards are any different than ours. I bought several cards for our last trip to WDW, that way I wouldn't have to lug the laptop. I even made a trip over to Best Buy while at WDW and bought some more. I think I took over 600 pictures on our last trip.

Thanks for all the replies.....

I mis typed my original - it was £40 for a 64mb card - but I shall try some of the places/sites mentioned. I would like to take a 124mb card - that should do for most of the holiday - and buy an extra one in Florida if needed.

to answer your question about will all smartmedia work in your camera, the answer is maybe not.....If I remember correctly, there are 3.3V cards out there, and also 3V.
Most cameras will accomodate both, but possibly not all....I dont remember which is which, but one is extremely common, the other is very rare.
Its worth double checking in your manual, or on the card you currently run to make sure you match it.

I've found the best place to buy memory is at stores like Wal-mart, Circuit City or Best Buy. If you're there on a Sunday, buy the paper and check the sale flyers.

i purchased a couple of memory cards on my last trip to WDW. just make sure that you buy a 3.3v and not a 5v and also that your camera can take the bigger cards.

i brought a 64mb card and took pictures at my brothers wedding then 2 days later after taking a picture an error came up on the camera and i lost all the pictures, only to find out 6 months later that my camera can only take a maximum 16mb Smart Media card.

oh well u live and learn

Hi neilybealy,

I wasn't posting manufacturer specific media - I read the original post as a general enquiry regarding smartmedia?
I bought 128 MB of PQI branded for my Canon Powershot S30 and it works a treat.
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...n=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3BhZ2U=&subcat_uid=143
shows a couple of cards around that price.

Sorry if I misread the original post, but was it not a general enquiry about smartmedia and not manufacturer specific?
I was posting links to 'non-branded' smartmedia, as I'd purchased 128MB of PQI 'cheapo' brand for my Canon Powershot S30. It has worked a treat.

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...n=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3BhZ2U=&subcat_uid=143

This is a similar link to well priced 128MB smartmedia.
